nice job with the hash, the colour would not bother me to much its still hash and much better than anything you can buy off the streets, we got plenty of 9 bars around, but like mentioned above most of it contains not thc to very little thc, i used to sell back in the day and bought 9bars all the time, it used to come with bits of vynol record in it and bits of plastic and crap like that, the darker it was the worse it was,
i never forget this bar that had a renault emblem on it, you burned it to sprinkle it and it just turned to rocks, it was like trying to smoke stones, you smoked a spliff and it was hot rock city, no thc at all, but that was when my usual source had nothing at all, i usually got the lighter coloured hash that did contain thc and you could tell the difference from that and the darker crap that was on sale, we sell it for £10 per 1/4 it used to be £10 per 8th but bars got so cheap i could knock out 1/4s at £10, i was paying between £150 and £250 per bar so could knock it out cheap, but the source i use to buy from used to have boxes and boxes of bars, never seen so much hash in all my life, but was cheap and was decent stuff,
not smoked hash in many years now, so ill give the method alex used a try, ill fill some bottles with water and freeze them till almost frozen, ill then mash the trim up into smaller pieces and freeze it over night, then give this method a try, saves me buying a load of bags first time round, if i like the end results then i might invest in the bag method but if i find out this works well then i might just stick with this method.
im thinking about using a bigger jar though, something like a bucket as i have muh trim, so i would need possibly 20 to 40 jars for all the trim i got, so a bucket might do me a bit better, i wont blend the trim up ill just use something like a hand whisk but the type that you turn the handle and the 2 whisks spin round, that shouldnt mash it up to much,
might give it a go tomorrow,
@AleX you know you got your bud in jars mate are you letting it out the jar for a bit to stop any pm issues, you might not see it on the glass or see the moisture but where the buds touch each other this is where its likely to have pm issues, ive had bud turn bad over night by leaving in the jar for 20ish hours, so what i do now is when its ready to be jarred up i put it in the jar but leave the lid off for a couple of hours, then i check it and its then got more moisture so i spread it out on something for an hour to release that moisture, i might need to do this twice before i can put the lid on and leave it on for a bit, then once a day ill take out the buds and spread them out just to release more moisture, i find doing this for 3ish days is enough for the jars to then have their lids on and opened once or twice a day just to let them breath, then about 5 or 6 days later the buds are where i want them to be and i can then leave the lids on.
you dont always need to use jars either, if you have to much bud you can use them plastic tubs that seal air tight, i use a few of these as well as jars as i find these are much bigger and the bud can be more spread out, plus it gives more surface area at the top due to it not been jar shaped but been rectangle shaped, so i find the plastic tubs tend to cure slightly quicker,
if for any reason i leave it out for to long and its to dry i just put in a couple of buds that are not dry yet and it draws the moisture into the buds that are to dry.
their is another method im interested in trying, its called water curing, sounds a bit mad i know but basically after harvest you let the buds hang dry as normal, then instead of putting them in jars you fill a tub up with water and put all the buds in, now this is suppose to break down the chlorophyl and give really good results, but ive read mixed reviews where some people have been left with mushy buds after so their must be a right and wrong way of doing it, until i know for sure how it works i wont be trying it but not come across anyone thats tried a water cure yet,
